Students were thrilled and fascinated as they collected samples of wildfly, took hair follicles and made powder from chalk as well as cashewnut and Walnut to observe under the foldscope.

They were fascinated at the entire idea of using a portable microscope to explore nature and their surroundings as they came up with interesting conclusions.
